Hi! My name is Leah! I am a UCLA graduate with a BA in Psychology and prospective social worker. As an aunt to 8 nieces and nephews, l am passionate about working with kids and nurturing their minds and spirits! I am comfortable with working with all ages, newborns to elementary school specifically. I'm mobile, skilled with cooking, and have history as a tutor (K-5), Special education aide, and day care assistant. I'm comfortable with pets and working late hours!
“Caring , humble, attentive beautiful young lady. Great with kids! Very active and hands on. Enthusiastic and fun.”
Hi! I am currently a Junior at UCLA studying Psychology and Political Science. My experience includes history babysitting, working on school field trips, children’s summer camps, pet sitting, and house sitting. I have been babysitting children from 9 months to 12 years old for 8 years. I have experience working a rafting summer camp for kids 5-16 as well. I am a current volunteer at the UCLA Botanical Gardens, facilitating elementary school field trips and learning experiences. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have been trained in infant and toddler specific CPR and first aid.
Hi there! I’m Maria, a 25 year old university student seeking a job as a nanny. A little about me.. I grew up in Culver City until age 14 and moved to Santa Monica, I enjoy going to concerts and love to dance. I am an open-minded curious person; I like to try new things and travel to new places. I've just moved back from studying abroad in Europe. I lived in Germany for two years learning German. Although I am new to becoming a nanny, I do have years of experience in babysitting. As an oldest sibling and cousin, I grew up always being around children. (There are 13 of us!) As an older sister I am protective and nurturing to my younger siblings. Apart from that, I volunteered at a Summer Camp in Culver City for children between the ages of five and thirteen. A few of my responsibilities were to create and join in activities, tidy the work/play areas, and supervise groups on weekly field trips. Currently in university I am studying German as a Foreign Language. Studying language has helped strengthen my communication, adaptability, and intercultural competence skills. I would be thrilled to teach or practice any of my spoken languages with them! I am great at being interactive with kids, accustomed to following routines and completing multiple tasks- whether that be in the house or running errands. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet in person to answer any questions you may have and see if I may be a great candidate to help you and your family!
My background experience was supporting my daughter who graduated with a computer science degree. I supported her in many activities which included chess, tennis player, robotic competition, avid reader, golfing, running, swimming, singing, et al. My daughter was accepted to a prestigious high school in Los Angeles. I love children and seniors. I love and respect the wisdom of seniors. I enjoy the curiosity of a child and allowing them to explore their surroundings.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
